Organisms are classified based on the following:

  • number of cells
  • type of cells
  • how they obtain food

Once you decide upon a kingdom, you then break the divisions down further based on similarities and differences between organisms. The most specific, or basic, division would be the species, in which organisms that are similar enough to interbreed are placed. Different species cannot produce fertile offspring, even if they can breed together once (examples are mules or ligers).
